New Class Of Materials With Increased Band Gap (U. of Minnesota, Caltech)
By Technical Paper Link - 08 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Deep-ultraviolet transparent conducting SrSnO3 via heterostructure design" was published by researchers at University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and Caltech. The researchers "looked at creating a new class of materials with increased “band gap,” enhancing both transparency and conductivity. The new material is a transparent conducting oxide, created with a s... » read more

Early STEM Education Key To Growing Future Chip Workforce
By Liz Allan - 25 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 4

A key factor in building a domestic workforce for the chip industry is attracting kids to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects at a younger age. That way they are more likely to follow through and attain the skills and degrees needed to enter the semiconductor job market. Industry and government are partnering with schools and community organizations to address the chal... » read more

Visa Shakeup On Tap To Help Solve Worker Shortage
By Liz Allan - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 5

Governments around the world are racing to train workers to design, manufacture, and package chips, but they are facing a talent shortfall that is expected to continue despite their best efforts — particularly for those engineers capable of designing and producing the most advanced chips. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) predicts a U.S. chip worker shortfall of 67,000 by 2030, ... » read more

Microscopy resolution record Cornell University says that it has achieved a world’s record for the highest resolution microscope. Using a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) and a new detector, Cornell has demonstrated features of atoms in a two-dimensional semiconductor sheet as small as 0.39 angstroms. In comparison, atoms are about 2 to 4 angstroms in diameter. An angstrom... » read more

Looking For The Elephant In The Valley
By Kavya Ram Mohan - 27 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 4

As a new arrival in the Silicon Valley and a woman, my head is full of statistics and charts. Not the kind that data scientists use to power their decision-making, but the kind that has made its way into the public discourse more and more in the last few years—diversity numbers in the tech industry. Armed with this data, I set out to talk to my company’s female CEO, Sundari Mitra, as wel... » read more

System Bits: March 28
